42. . Wide Receiver. Western Michigan. Corey Davis. 18. player

The 49ers could land Clemson wideout Mike Williams in Round 1 of the NFL Draft, but settling for Western Michigan receiver Corey Davis isn’t exactly a bad deal.

San Francisco addressed a major defensive need with the No. 5 overall pick. Now new general manager John Lynch solves another — the wide receiver position. The team still needs a quarterback, so look for that answer to happen early in Round 2.

At 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds, Davis is a big body who can double as an outside threat as well as in the red zone. His route-running abilities are among the best in this year’s class.

Just like that, the Niners have solved two of their pressing needs in the first round.
